"My opinion is the same as that of Marshal Reginald, Admiral."

Sitting in his place, Ares said categorically.

At this moment, Dai Lin almost scolded. I gave you all my daughters, and you kid actually went against me? The admiral's angry red face could be seen. His whole expression was extremely serious, revealing anger, dissatisfaction and incomprehension.

"Are you also in favor of not attacking the tribe?"

Dai Lin asked.

"It's not that you don't attack the tribe, it's that you don't attack now. We have a more important mission, a more powerful enemy, and that enemy is far more threatening than the orcs, much more than the tribes. ”

Ares replied calmly. Everyone instantly understood what the threat Ares was referring to. The Scourge Legion, yes, there is nothing more worrying to the Paladins than the Scourge Legion. The citizens of Kul Tiras may not have seen the catastrophe firsthand, but the people of the continent were impressed.

Ignoring Dai Lin's face, Ares continued—

"Ladies and gentlemen, I agree with Marshal Reginald that we do not now have enough legions to wipe out the Horde. And the Horde is not our main enemy. At this stage, our main enemy is the undead of the Scourge. Have you forgotten the horrors of the Scourge? Even if you forget, I don't. My loved ones, my warriors, all died in that war. The warriors of the Scarlet Crusaders, Silver Dawn, and the Ashen Inquisitors defended the glory with their lives, blocking the Scourge Legion's further southward march. However, this is only temporary. The Lich King is still asleep in the north, and one day he will wake up, and when he does, how will we face such an army of undead creatures? It's not in the tens of thousands, it's in the millions. ”

After Ares finished speaking, the audience fell silent. Indeed, what is war here compared to a war of natural calamity? While the people of the north are fighting for all of Azeroth, the people here are fighting for hatred. And, just hatred. After the orcs crossed the ocean, they almost never invaded human territory again.

"Dalin, Ares is right, we were wrong in the first place. Hatred of the orcs must be put aside, and the Scourge is our main enemy. I lived through that disaster, a real disaster. With an endless army of the undead, even that high wall could not stop their progress, the Scourge Legion was definitely stronger than the tribe in front of them. Quel'Thalas, the proud home of the High Elves, was razed to the ground by the Scourge led by Arthas in less than a week. Imagine that disaster. ”

After Ares finished speaking, Jean also stepped forward and spoke in a heavy, hoarse voice. Daerin also wanted to refute him, but the two people in front of him were both people who had made absolute contributions to the defense of the fortress, without Ares, the allies would have collapsed long ago, and similarly, without Jean, it would be impossible for the army of Kurtilas to resist the charge of the orcs and minotaurs alone.

But the orcs ...... Orcs must die!

Dalin roared from the bottom of his heart. He didn't want to compromise, and he didn't want to listen to what these people had to say here.

"Alright, alright, you all go find Varian! I will not compromise, and I will never make any peace agreement with the tribes. I'm going to lead my army and take that city and drive this beast out of the continent once and for all. For the sake of the Union, yes, I will do it! ”

Dai Lin glanced at the others at the round table and said resentfully. Even Gianna can't redeem her father, and she can't change her father's stubborn, ingrained old ideas.

……

Kalimdor's Night.

Gianna fights Ares at the bedside. After a thousand strokes, Gianna lay like a gentle little girl in the crook of Ares's arm.

"My dear, my father will go tomorrow to the base camp of the tribe, which is Orgrimmar in the orcs. Are you really not going to help him anymore? ”

She asked softly. A strand of hair covered her eyes, visibly a little gloomy.

Indeed, on one side is his father, and on the other side is his lover. They were supposed to live in harmony, but now, it's like this. Dalin's hatred of the orcs was understandable to Gianna, and Ares's words did make sense. On the one hand, there is family affection, and on the other hand, reason. This contradictory emotion tormented Gianna all the time. It was as if her heart had been pulled out and crumpled.

“…… Won't ......"

In the face of Gianna's gentle murmur, Ares was silent for a moment, and then replied categorically. Although it was brutal for Gianna......

"And what if he has to go? I mean, if my father had gone alone with an army, he would not have been able to conquer the city, and would probably have been defeated by the Horde......"

Gianna asked in a low voice. Her voice was full of sorrow, and the expression on her face was melancholy and gloomy. As a man who loves her, Ares is really distressed to see it. But reality is reality, and if you blindly cater to each other and meet each other's unreasonable demands, in the end, everyone will perish.

"I know, but I still can't help him anymore. Your father's obsession and revenge will bring the alliance to ruin. I help him this time, and next time, next time, there is no end. Even if we were lucky enough to defeat the tribe every time, is it possible for you to destroy the entire tribe? This is impossible, the strength of the Horde is far above ours. Without the alliance of Stormwind and Ironforge, it is not an alliance at all. Alas, although from the bottom of my heart, I also want to help your father...... But you know, I can't do that. ”

Stroking Gianna's hair, Ares said helplessly.

"But my father told me to help him ......"

Gianna whispered. Her voice was so small that she could barely hear herself, but Ares could hear it. This kind of contradiction and entanglement is worrying to think about, but what can be done?

"You're going? Alas, I know you have no choice, that's your father......"

Ares sighed, Gianna pulled closer, her peaks pressed against Ares' chest, Ares could feel her heartbeat, her breathing. The faint fragrance came to my face, and to be honest, I was really reluctant to leave such a woman.

It's okay to say that men are animals that think on the lower half of their bodies, but now, Ares knows that he has feelings for the woman in front of him. After three years of getting along, it would be nonsense to say that there is no emotion.

"Hmmm......"

Gianna replied quietly......
